underwhelming stay

acceptable locationnoisy streetinconsistent shower pressure
the location was acceptable.
My assigned room was near a noisy street. Traffic sounds were constant. the minibar was not restocked daily, i had to ask several times. additionally, the bathroom lacked basic toiletries, like a shaving kit, and the shower pressure was inconsistent.
